IFL 2026/27: Uzziel Budus late header hands Dempo SC dramatic win over FC Bengaluru United
Digital Desk | Margao (Goa), Nov 1 (IANS) Uzziel Budus stoppage-time header helped Dempo Sports Club start their Indian Football League (IFL) 202627 campaign on a winning note, securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over FC Bengaluru United at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa, on Sunday. Ghanaian defender Uzziel Yaw Asomaning Budu struck in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time to break the deadlock and hand the hosts all three points. Billed as a classic David-versus-Goliath clash between a youthful FC Bengaluru United outfit and the seasoned campaigners of Dempo, the contest looked destined to end in a goalless stalemate as the visitors defended resolutely for large periods of the match. However, Bengaluru switched off in the final 10 minutes and were punished in the dying moments when stopper-back Budu rose highest from a corner kick in the final minute of added time to glance home the winner in front of the home fans. The game began on a scrappy note as both teams took time to settle on a slow pitch. Dempo slowly found their stride as the contest moved into the second quarter, stringing passes together and establishing a firm hold on ball possession. Operating down the left flank, Saiesh Bagkar produced a couple of probing runs for the Goan side as he looked to link up with forwards Cledson Carvalho Dasilva and captain Richmond Kwasi Owusu. However, his efforts did not produce any real openings to trouble a well-organised Bengaluru defence marshalled by Daniel, Abdul Hannan, and goalkeeper Manjunath Hirekurbar. Despite Dempos territorial dominance, FC Bengaluru United carved out their first chance of the evening from a corner kick in the 27th minute, though the resulting header was not on target. The visitors slowly found their rhythm as the match moved into the third quarter past the half-hour mark, with captain Ribhav Sardesai and Lalramdinsanga Ralte working tirelessly in midfield to keep their shape. Dempo continued to dominate the ball for the remainder of the opening period, commanding 70 per cent possession and producing close to 250 passes. While the hosts controlled possession well, they lacked intensity and penetration in the final third against a tight Bengaluru rearguard that kept compact numbers at the back, sending the two sides into the half-time break deadlocked at 0-0. The match resumed at a much faster pace in the second half, with FC Bengaluru United showing greater attacking intent on the transition. The visitors came agonisingly close to taking the lead when Russian forward Marat Tareck made a fine run in behind the Dempo backline of Budu, Athul Unnikrishnan, and Pruthvesh Pednekar with only the goalkeeper in sight. However, a heavy touch from the Russian forward at the crucial moment allowed Dempo goalkeeper Subhajit Bhattacharjee to pounce swiftly on the ball and smother the danger without any harm. Dempo responded at the other end and won a corner kick of their own, from which defender Athul Unnikrishnan rose to meet the delivery, only to send his header off target. The intensity subsequently dropped from both sides as the game moved into the second quarter of the half, with the scoreline remaining unchanged right through to the final hydration break. Although FC Bengaluru United were the better side for large spells of the second half, they lost concentration in the closing 10 minutes as Dempo pushed forward in search of a late breakthrough. In the 80th minute, Dempo carved out their best opportunity from open play when skipper Richmond Owusu delivered a spot-on pass to find Saiesh Bagkar inside the penalty box, only for his goal-bound shot to be bravely blocked by the Bengaluru defence. With eight minutes of added time indicated, that missed chance initially appeared anticlimactic for the hosts, and for long moments it looked as though Bengaluru would return home with a well-earned point. However, a moment of brilliance in the 90+8th minute changed everything. Winning a corner in the final minute of the match, Dempo whipped a delivery into the box where stopper-back Budu timed his jump to perfection to glance a precise header into the second post past Hirekurbar. In the end, Uzziel Budus last-gasp header proved decisive as Dempo Sports Club capitalised on FC Bengaluru Uniteds late lapse to seal a hard-fought 1-0 victory and open their home campaign with all three points.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 1 (IANS) Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday announced that the proposed South Bullet Train corridor would connect Bengaluru with Hyderabad, Amaravati, and Chennai, while a Vande Bharat train service between Bengaluru and Mangaluru would be introduced in the coming weeks after the completion of electrification and testing work. In his remarks on the occasion of the flagging off of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai on the occasion of Karnataka Rajyotsava, Vaishnaw said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the South Bullet Train corridor, which would integrate major technology and economic centres in the region and create a multiplier effect for southern states. He said the proposed corridor would significantly reduce travel time, with the journey between Bengaluru and Chennai expected to take just 73 minutes and Bengaluru and Hyderabad around two hours and 10 minutes. These two cities, Bengaluru and Chennai, will become one city, he said, adding that the connectivity would strengthen economic integration among major cities in southern India. Vaishnaw said that as India moved towards the goal of Viksit Bharat, the Prime Minister had approved 4,000 km of bullet train corridors, and another 3,000 km would be announced in the coming days. He expressed confidence that the proposed Bengaluru-Pune bullet train corridor, which would cover the northern parts of Karnataka, would also become a reality. Referring to the demand for better railway connectivity along the Karnataka coast, the Union Minister said Mangaluru was an important city, and that electrification and testing work on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru route would be completed in the next few weeks. We will have a Mangaluru-Bengaluru Vande Bharat train. That will connect the entire region with very good, high-class connectivity, he said. Vaishnaw also announced plans for another Vande Bharat Sleeper service in Karnataka, which would connect Bengaluru with northern Karnataka, travel towards Hubballi, and proceed to Pune and Mumbai. On the route of the newly introduced Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Bengaluru and Mumbai, he said the train would travel from Bengaluru through Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh before re-entering Karnataka through Raichur, Yadgir, and Kalaburagi and proceeding to Maharashtra. He said the route would cover a significant portion of North Karnataka, which had not received adequate railway connectivity earlier. The route was finalised after consultations with Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi, H.D. Kumaraswamy, and V. Somanna. Recalling the commitment behind the introduction of the Vande Bharat Sleeper service, Vaishnaw said November 1, Karnataka Rajyotsava, was an auspicious occasion to launch the service. He said the Prime Minister had guided the Railways to keep the common man and middle-class families in mind while introducing modern railway services, ensuring that the poorest of the poor, youth and women also benefited. Keeping this in mind, three different types of trains Namo Bharat, Amrit Bharat, and Vande Bharat have been introduced, and their services are being made available to people, he said. Vaishnaw said the new sleeper service would connect Bengaluru, the country's technology and start-up capital, with Mumbai, the financial capital. During his address, Union Minister Joshi stood up to congratulate Vaishnaw following his announcement on the proposed bullet train corridor. Subsequently, the leaders joined hands and raised slogans of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Vaishnaw attributed the expansion of railway infrastructure and improved connectivity to the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, saying the initiatives were contributing to building a new image for India.

'Married Brother & Had Kids': Trump Renews Fiery Attack On Ilhan Omar, Revives Explosive Claim
US President Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, reviving allegations surrounding her name, marriage and family ties. Speaking publicly, Trump questioned Omars identity, referred to long-running allegations that she married her brother, and criticised her over her comments on constitutional rights and her Somali origins. Trump also blamed Omar and her political allies for what he described as the deterioration of Minnesota. He claimed his administration had uncovered new details about the controversy, while revisiting allegations that have circulated for years.
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 25 (IANS) President Donald Trump revived his shithouse countries remark at a campaign rally in Perry, Georgia, saying the US should take immigrants from Nordic nations such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark. He also claimed that Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar had openly admitted to fraud. Trump spoke on Saturday evening after landing at Robins Air Force Base, ten days before the November 3 midterm elections. Recalling a meeting with Democratic senators during his first term, Trump told the crowd: And I said, why do we always have to take people from shithouse countries? Why cant we take people from like, well, Norway, Sweden. Why not Denmark? He spoke of armies of migrants from terror infested countries like Libya, Yemen, Haiti, Somalia, and asked the crowd: Remember what I call them? Shithouse countries. Remember the heat I took from the Democrats? Trump singled out the Somali community, claiming that 98% of the people that we have here now in Somalia dont work and that they all have a Mercedes Benz. Turning to the border, Trump claimed his administration had achieved the most secure border in American history. He said: In the past 17 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States. He also claimed that the murder rate was at the lowest level its been in 125 years. Pointing to France, Trump said it was right now burning down because it opens its borders to people who hate it. And you know what you do with those people? Never let them come into your country. And thats what we do, he said. On the economy, Trump claimed that the poverty rate had reached the single best level in American history. He listed African-American poverty, Hispanic-American poverty, and Native-American poverty, and added: And by the way, Asian-American poverty, all those rates are at the best levels ever recorded. Asian Americans, among them more than five million people of Indian origin, are a closely watched voting bloc in Georgia, where the community has grown fast in the Atlanta suburbs. Trump also took aim at Omar, the Somali-born Democrat from Minnesota. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has just conceded her seat, he said, adding that Omar has openly admitted to fraud and she will not be legally allowed to be a member of this August body. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the remarks. Donald Trump has consistently trafficked in vile and xenophobic rhetoric against the Somali American community, targeting Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with unhinged personal attacks and baseless accusations, he said in a statement. After lawlessly sending his violent DHS machine to Congresswoman Omars home earlier this month, the President is once again peddling sick propaganda against her at a moment when political violence is surging, Jeffries said. Accountability is coming for the Trump Cartel and all of their lawless sycophants, he added. Immigration has been a central theme of Trumps campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the midterms, which will decide control of both chambers of Congress.

Trump demands Ilhan Omar quit Congress
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 23 (IANS) US President Donald Trump has demanded the immediate resignation of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, accusing her of using a false name to enter Congress and alleging fraud over her identity and previous marriage. The extraordinary demand followed reports that a federal court filing identified the Minnesota lawmaker by another name, reviving longstanding allegations about her marriage to a man whom critics claim is her brother. Omar has strongly denied the allegations. Her office has rejected Trump's claims as false and politically motivated. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump alleged that Omar's actual name was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, rather than Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, the name under which she was elected to the House of Representatives. Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must immediately resign from Congress, Trump wrote. He also called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to take action. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat, Trump said. The President went further, claiming that Omar had admitted to fraud and could no longer legally serve in Congress. The controversy intensified after a federal court filing submitted on Wednesday by the office of US Attorney Jeanine Pirro identified the congresswoman as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. According to Newsweek, the filing concerned efforts to keep materials sealed in connection with a federal search warrant involving Omar's Washington residence. Trump also raised the allegations during a campaign rally in Iowa on Thursday. She used a fake name to be sworn in. I assume she must immediately have to resign from Congress, he told supporters. He then declared: The Republicans have just picked up a seat in the House. Omar's spokesperson rejected the accusations. This is completely false. Ilhan Omar is her real name, the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The spokesperson also described the allegations as a desperate smear and criticised media organisations for continuing to give this lie oxygen. The dispute centres partly on Omar's former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom critics have repeatedly alleged is her biological brother. During an interview with MS NOW's Chris Hayes on Wednesday, Omar rejected the allegations and questioned the credibility of those advancing them. Asked whether she was related to Elmi, she replied: Not to my knowledge. Conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly added another dimension to the controversy on Friday, claiming that federal investigators apparently possessed DNA evidence concerning Omar's former marriage. The Justice Department apparently has DNA evidence that proves she married her brother to get him a Green Card, O'Reilly wrote. His claim was not accompanied by publicly presented DNA findings in the supplied material. O'Reilly nevertheless urged caution. We need to let this play out and see where the facts lead, he wrote. He added: I still believe in due process. Omar, who was born in Somalia, became an American citizen at 17 when her father was naturalised in 2000, according to the supplied reports. She is among the most prominent progressive Democrats in Congress and has frequently clashed with Trump over immigration, race and American politics. Under the US Constitution, removing a sitting House member requires a two-thirds vote of the chamber.

Protest fallout: Mumbai Police ask actor Imran Khan to leave India by Oct 28
Mumbai, Oct 15: The Mumbai Police have issued a notice to Bollywood actor Imran Khan, an American national, directing him to leave India by October 28 for allegedly violating provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, officials said on Thursday. The action follows the actor's participation in an agitation at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan on October 10, where protesters demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police had briefly detained Khan during the demonstration. Imran Khan (43), who has acted in several Bollywood films, is the nephew of superstar Aamir Khan. Former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, who had sought action against Imran Khan after he participated in the protest, welcomed the police notice against him. Imran Khan holds foreign citizenship and is not an Indian national. Under relevant provisions of the Foreigners/Immigration Act, foreign nationals are prohibited from participating in political protests or political activities on Indian soil, a police official said. A formal notice directing the actor to leave the country by October 28 has been served on him, and he has received a copy of it, the police said. Further administrative procedures are underway, they added. The actor was unavailable for a response in the matter. He has acted in several films, including I Hate Luv Storys (2010) and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011). He recently had a cameo appearance in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a Bollywood film backed by Aamir Khan. Following the agitation last week, a video surfaced showing the actor responding to a reporter's query about his participation in the protest as he was being escorted to a police vehicle. I have no demands. I am not part of any organisation, he said. Somaiya had urged Mumbai police to act against Imran Khan for joining a protest here in support of the Cockroach Janta Party despite being a foreign citizen, and sought clarity on whether he can participate in such agitations. The BJP leader on Thursday welcomed the police action against the actor and demanded that others involved in similar activities also be deported. There are thousands of Imran Khans in India. They want to live here and defame the country. Action should be taken against all such people, and they should be deported, Somaiya told reporters, while thanking the police for acting on his complaint. Imran Khan had taken part in political activities against the government despite being a US citizen, he said, adding that a thorough investigation into the matter would expose others. Somaiya said he had complained to the Union government's immigration authorities, the Airport Authority and Mumbai Police after the actor participated in the protest, and also urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene in the matter. I filed a complaint on Saturday and followed it up on Sunday. I had sought a report on how long Imran Khan had been a US citizen, Somaiya said, adding that he was grateful to the authorities for taking action. The actor was born and educated in the US, but earned his livelihood in India while participating in political and diplomatic activities opposing the government, the BJP leader charged. Action against Imran Khan should serve as a warning to others engaged in similar activities, Somaiya said and demanded that authorities identify and take action against all such individuals.
Mumbai Police have directed actor Imran Khan to leave India by Oct 28 following his participation in a contentious protest at August Kranti Maidan.

Aamir Khans nephew Imran Khan asked to leave India by October 28
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Aamir Khans nephew Imran Khan has been issued a notice by the Mumbai Police asking him to leave India by October 28, days after he participated in a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Action has been taken against Imran under Sections 7 and 29 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, and the actor has received a copy of the notice. The actor was detained by the police on October 10 in connection with the protest. According to the information provided, action has been taken against Imran under the relevant provisions of the Immigration Act for allegedly participating in such a protest despite not being an Indian citizen.

In a letter dated October 13 to Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Somaiya called on the Ministry of Home Affairs to issue directions preventing Khan from travelling abroad under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. He also asked the Bureau of Immigration to issue an LOC against the actor and notify the police should he attempt to leave India.

WATCH: Trump Attacks Somalis For 'Destroying' Minnesota Amid Ilhan Omar Row

Ilhan Omar and Minnesotas Somali community, accusing Somali immigrants of having fleeced the state and saying they had destroyed Minnesota.Trump also revived his long-running attacks on Omar, again invoking allegations surrounding her past marriage and immigration history as he tied her to wider claims of fraud and corruption in Minnesota.The remarks come amid renewed political scrutiny around Omar following the federal search of her Washington-area home and an investigation linked in reporting to immigration paperwork from her childhood.
Attacking heritage is prejudice, not politics
SIR KEIR STARMER did not want to stick around in the Commons after being removed from Downing Street. It was the shared achievement of his national and local successors that Labour did not slip up in the Holborn and St Pancras byelection to replace him. Andy Burnhams confident start as prime minister put voters in a mood to give his government a chance, not a warning shot. Labour candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali localised the hopeful message , having risen to council leader in three decades, after arriving as a young child refugee born 4,000 miles from St Pancras. The frontrunner being foisted on the people of Holborn by Labour to replace Keir Starmer was born in Somalia. Do you understand whats happening? Reforms Zia Yusuf tweeted. The partys home affairs spokesman struggled to explain why attacking a candidates birthplace was politics, not prejudice. His ugly attack did not hinder Labour electorally, but motivated members to campaign on how to send Reform a message in a by-election race mainly against the Greens. Party leader Zack Polanski stood, reflecting early Green optimism about a famous upset. The post-election aftershocks were less about being runner-up than the deep rift between Green MPs and activists after a split party conference narrowly passed a motion declaring Zionism is racism, while the party leader skipped that debate to campaign in London. This is Camden and this is London, Abdi-Wali declared in her warm acceptance speech. Constituency polling by Persuasion UK suggested she was as much of a campaign asset as the prime minister. Was her victory just a snapshot of north Londons liberalism in polarised times? Abdi-Wale is the first British MP of Somali origin. But she is also the 91st ethnic minority MP in this parliament, there were just four when she first came to London, and joins 25 colleagues of Muslim faith in the Commons. Kemi Badenochs defeat of Robert Jenrick in the 2024 Conservative Party leadership contest did most to prove how the new norm of ethnic diversity in public life stretches across the party spectrum. Yet, two years on, Badenochs conference speech pushed back punchily against ethnonationalist identity politics on the right. She challenged those who see British or English identity as racially exclusive. Badenoch identifies as British, not English, herself, but was rejecting Suella Bravermans insistence that nobody, neither herself nor Rishi Sunak, should ever call themselves English without multiple generations of ancestry. Badenochs emphatic statement that we are not uniting with that angered Reform. They think this may rebound badly, like Hillary Clintons speech about US president Donald Trumps deplorable voters. But early research found this challenge did resonate strongly with public audiences, reflecting broad concern at a resurgence of racism. Badenochs attack may even have been a little unfair on Reform leader Nigel Farage. He does not support Bravermans rules that exclude almost all ethnic minorities from English identity. Farage realises it is politically bonkers to be questioning if Englands black footballers really count. Nor would he doubt that Badenoch is British, though the young ethnonationalist staff for Rupert Lowes Restore Britain do. Campaign director Charlie Downes mocks both Badenoch and Farage as deluded for believing that ethnic and faith minorities can ever be equally British. Yet Badenoch gave Lowe a Tory spot on a key Commons committee: a tactical alliance to amplify his spoiler impact on Reform. Restore refuses to set any boundaries at all for overt racists. Active Restore members could even share Britain Firsts online petition to deport Badenoch over her speech, confident their party will take no action. For two decades, Farage has projected his Asian and black colleagues to show how he is different from the BNP. I have always found complaints about some British Asians being right-wing a bit patronising: there Cricket on the Mall ahead of Earthshot event are bound to be people with left-wing, centrist and right-wing views. What crosses the line is when minority politicians use their own characteristics to make racially exclusionary arguments that white British colleagues would avoid as prejudiced. That seems to be becoming a Reform pattern. I doubt Richard Tice MP would make Yusufs attack on Abdi-Wali's heritage, nor Bravermans rejection of Sunaks English identity. Now Raheem Kassam, a close associate of Farage for years, promotes online attacks on Badenoch as a Nigerian scammer, declaring that a woke anchor baby can never be prime minister. Kassam has no official party role, but Reforms London mayoral candidate, Laila Cunningham, used his content to accuse Badenoch of being in politics to promote Nigerias interests, not Britains. Reform is moving further right at pace. Farage began this week pledging to abolish asylum entirely. Lowe bid higher, arguing the priority must be to deport millions of legal migrants too. Reforms Jenrick proposed the Royal Marines use lethal force to stop Channel boats. Badenochs challenge to Reform primarily reflected Restores hardcore ethnonationalism, but it may become ever harder to spot the difference.

Ilhan Omar to Be Arrested? Trumps Agents Raid Democrats Home as Midterm Battle Explodes
A predawn federal raid on Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omars Washington-area home has ignited a political firestorm, putting President Donald Trumps bitter feud with one of his fiercest critics back in the spotlight. According to Fox News Digital, the operation followed a criminal fraud investigation involving immigration paperwork reportedly completed by Omars late father when she was a child. The Department of Justice confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorised search warrant as part of an ongoing federal investigation. However, authorities have not publicly disclosed further details, and no conclusion of wrongdoing can be drawn from the raid alone. The development comes after Trump repeatedly attacked Omar, accused her of fraud and said she should be thrown out of the country. He has also made inflammatory remarks about the Somali community, fuelling accusations of anti-immigrant rhetoric.

According to the Ministry of Science & Technology, the Indian delegation -- led by the minister -- comprised Prof. Umesh Waghmare, Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Dr. Praveenkumar Somasundaram, Adviser and Head, International Bilateral Cooperation, DST. On the other side, the UK delegation comprised Reynolds, British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron and Interim Permanent Secretary of the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Amanda Brooks, according to the ministry.
